Captain Falcon (SSB4)/Forward aerial

Hitbox visualization showing Captain Falcon's forward aerial.

Overview

Captain Falcon performs a knee strike. If sweetspotted at the very first frame, the move is a very powerful electric semi-spike. Otherwise, it has pitiful power, being weaker than even Little Mac's forward aerial, though it may trip the opponent and can set up other aerial combos.
